| State Coastal Director Jerome Zeringue to Speak at June 11 Luncheon
| Just this week, the Louisiana Legislature approved the 2012 Master Plan for Coastal Protection and Restoration, the driving force for the state's coastal efforts over the next decade and beyond. And with the RESTORE Act awaiting final Congressional approval, Louisiana's restoration and protection needs are gaining attention on Capitol Hill.
With all of this in mind, BIG is pleased to welcome Jerome Zeringue, Executive Director of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, as guest speaker for our June 11 luncheon. Zeringue will discuss local projects in the state master plan, next steps now that the plan has been approved, and ongoing efforts to protect and restore our coast and fund projects in the future.
The monthly luncheon begins at Noon on Monday, June 11 at the Bayou Country Club in Thibodaux. You don't want to miss this very informative meeting! ___________________________________________________
Bring a Guest to Lunch with You!
Lunch is free for BIG members. There is a $20 fee for reserved guests; $25 for walk-ins. Since BIG is required to pay for total number of reservations, all reserved guests will be billed for payment regardless of attendance.
We hope to see you on June 11! |
